Drowning Reborn

Waking up on Saturday morning, Jiang Zechen was dragged out by Mrs. Jiang to go shopping again, and then "accidentally" met Jiang Zehan who was also shopping.Jiang Zechen followed Mrs. Jiang, seeing his mother, who was so angry that she wanted to breathe fire, but because of face, she couldn't destroy her image in public, so she had to grit her teeth and smile, and silently turned her head and covered her face in shame— ——It's his fault to reveal Jiang Zehan's whereabouts, but anyone who hinders people from falling in love will be struck by lightning, mother!

The little finger was slightly hooked. Although it was too simple to touch, it made Jiang Zechen feel extremely ambiguous - cheating always makes people feel a sense of trembling excitement. This is probably the inferiority of human beings...

Guilty glanced at Mrs. Jiang who was holding the card that Jiang Zehan generously contributed and was planning to max it out. Jiang Zechen turned his head and said softly, "Shopping by chance or something, don't you think this excuse is a bit bloody? I I’ve never seen you go shopping in leisure during the holidays.”

"Occasionally, I will come to buy some things." Jiang Zehan replied with a light smile.

"That's true, but it's all forced." Jiang Zechen complained, "As for your excessive desire to monopolize your own personal belongings, only the ones you personally pick out are pleasing to the eye, otherwise you probably won't be able to step into them in your life. One step to the store."

"Anyway, it's just an excuse. God knows, you know, I know, even my mother knows, so it's okay to say it on the face of it." Jiang Zehan's eyes were locked on Jiang Zechen's body, as if he couldn't get enough of it. For some reason, Jiang Zechen suddenly became uncomfortable, his face was slightly flushed, and his gaze was wandering.

"...Actually, shopping is not a bad idea now. Let's discuss home furnishings and furniture together like this..." Jiang Zehan's eyes were filled with warmth, "When are you waiting, let's do the same? Let's decorate the home that only belongs to us. ?”

"...Okay." Jiang Zechen responded softly, but felt that this light and fluffy word seemed to contain some emotion that made him jump and beat, and he was a little flustered for a while.

——A home that he arranged with his own hands, with all his painstaking care and expectations, is it really his territory?Such recognition made Jiang Zechen's heart beat a little faster.

Human is a kind of animal, and all animals have a sense of territoriality, and humans standing at the top of the food chain are no exception.Jiang Zechen has never had a concept that is completely his own, because he knows his position in the Jiang family, and knows that he is just a dependent in another sense. For Mrs. Jiang, who has an unbreakable blood relationship, because they have been separated for too long, Even though the surface is still harmonious and warm, in Jiang Zechen's heart he still regards her as an "other person" who needs his care and love - mother's home belongs to mother, not to him.

I thought I didn't care, I thought the so-called "home" was just a foothold, but the tiny longing that still existed in my heart was easily hooked by Jiang Zehan, which made him novel and fascinated.

"If you do this, then it's my territory, you're not allowed to bring other people there! Even..."—even if we break up in the future, it's not allowed.Jiang Zechen pursed his lips and swallowed the last half of the sentence, because it was not appropriate at this moment.

Jiang Zechen also once gave his lover a house, and watched them bring a new lover in after they broke up, but he didn't care about it, because he never regarded those houses and women as his own—but once he gave them Bringing this kind of scene into Jiang Zehan's body and the house he once arranged and decorated with the attitude of treating "home", Jiang Zechen felt all kinds of awkwardness, even though it was just an imagination.

"Okay, everything is up to you." Jiang Zehan replied softly, but like an oath, calmly suppressed the excitement deep in his heart, "It only belongs to us, and no one is allowed to enter except us."

"...Yeah, there's no need to prohibit anyone, you can also bring friends occasionally, such as Li Zhou and Li Shaoming." Jiang Zechen scratched his hair, feeling that Jiang Zehan's desire for territory had begun to flare up again.

Jiang Zehan's face darkened, and he raised his hand to rub Jiang Zechen's hair vigorously, deciding to think about his own feelings, and it's better to say less.

When Mrs. Jiang turned around, she saw her son was whispering something intimately with Jiang Zehan, and then Jiang Zehan rubbed his hair with a dark face, with a feeling of powerlessness, while Jiang Zechen He complained dissatisfiedly and wanted to dodge, but was stopped by the other party's arms around his shoulders, so he could only force his face full of resentment.

Suddenly, a sense of loss spread in her heart. Even though she knew that her son was fine, even though she tried her best to make up for the gap of more than ten years, Mrs. Jiang knew that some missed things were irreparable.

Her son is very kind to her, as long as he doesn't overdo it, he always obeys her will, and Mrs. Jiang knows that it is because of his kindness and obedience that the relationship between him and her seems to be more polite Treat "others", not "myself", not mother and child.Jiang Zechen would not act like a spoiled child to her, would not complain to her, and would not show the unscrupulous expression he had when facing Jiang Zehan because he was confident.Looking at the intimate play between the two brothers behind her, Mrs. Jiang suddenly felt that she was an outsider, inserted between them.

——Obviously, it wasn’t like this before.

Women are actually sensitive, especially to those they care about.Mrs. Jiang can see that when she just returned to China, Jiang Zechen still held a vigilance and scrutiny towards Jiang Zehan, and did not trust him wholeheartedly. So when did this vigilance and scrutiny be erased? And Jiang Zechen became more self-centered and relaxed in front of Jiang Zehan?

Did she really do something wrong?Abandoning her child, instead of participating in his growth, she wholeheartedly accompanied her husband, so that no matter how hard she tried now, her child's attitude towards her was still intimacy, respect mixed with alienation...

Comparing herself with Jiang Zehan, Mrs. Jiang was full of melancholy. Even the dazzling array of shops around her could no longer make her feel better. So, when she was resting in the cafe, she surprised the Jiang brothers. , announced the idea of ​​going home.

Immediately, Jiang Zechen was both surprised and relieved, but Jiang Zehan was extremely unwilling—the discussion between him and Jiang Zechen about the interior decoration of the "home" was about to be interrupted just as it was getting better, which really made him a little disappointed.

The so-called not getting up early without benefit, because he covets the so-called "benefit", so Jiang Zehan only thought for a moment, then ignored all the consequences and asked Mrs. Jiang, who seemed not in a good mood, "So, what else does Mom have this afternoon?" arrangement?"

"...Why do you ask this?" Mrs. Jiang replied cautiously.

"That's it. Didn't I say that I also want to buy something when I come out today? Actually, it's a gift for a friend's younger brother. I don't know what to buy, so I think Xiaochen is about the same age as that kid. Maybe he will give me a gift. Some very helpful suggestions..." Jiang Zehan's eyes were earnest, and his voice was full of respect, and there was even a little intimacy that made Madam Jiang feel like she was hallucinating, "Mom, if there is nothing important, let the little one Would you like to take a stroll with me in the morning and afternoon?"

Madam Jiang choked for a moment. She had to admit that Jiang Zehan had grown into an extremely attractive man, and it was always difficult for women to say "no" to such a man. No matter how dissatisfied and repulsed she is, she can't refuse in a strong way-not to mention that she has a stinky son who always turns his elbows out at critical moments.

"I should be fine in the afternoon, right? I remember mom, isn't your plan for these two days just to go shopping?" Jiang Zechen said casually after signing autographs for two girls who recognized him, blocking the only way Mrs. Jiang could do it. The path of polite refusal.

"That would be great." Jiang Zehan laughed, held Jiang Zechen's hand under the coffee table, and interlocked his fingers, "Mom, thank you, after the rest, Xiaochen and I will take you home first. "

——So, Mrs. Jiang, who hadn't expressed any opinion from the beginning to the end, was "decided" in the tacit harmony of the Jiang brothers. She was full of breath and her expression became dissatisfied. After the son gave some pleading eyes, he was discouraged again.

"Forget it, you just call the driver to pick me up, you go on shopping, it's so troublesome to go back and forth." Mrs. Jiang waved her hand and sighed in her heart.

——Since her son likes it, what can she do?Jiang Zechen has grown up and has his own ideas, even as a mother, there is nothing he can do.Moreover, Jiang Zehan did not seem to have done anything that harmed Jiang Zechen's interests, nor could she use any logical reason to separate the pair of brothers who grew up together.

Mrs. Jiang's rare enlightenment surprised the Jiang family brothers, but they would not ask for trouble. After getting the desired result, they would accept it as soon as it was good. Jiang Zechen graciously ordered a dessert for her and promised her He has a very good figure and will never lose his shape after eating this dessert. Jiang Zehan immediately called the driver of Jiang's family and asked him to come outside the cafe to stand by.

After drinking coffee and eating dessert, Madam Jiang followed the driver and left without saying anything. The Jiang brothers who stayed outside the cafe looked at each other for a while, but they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Now you have two choices. First, follow me back to Jiang's house. Second, follow me to see the real estate." Jiang Zehan pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision.

Jiang Zechen's eyes drifted away for a moment, and he cleared his throat, "Well... can I choose the second option? I... I'm not ready yet." - The second young master of the Jiang family said that if he contributed his back door or something, he It's really stressful.

"Of course, if you are willing to take the position below, I am willing to choose the first option." Jiang Zechen blinked his eyes, full of expectation.

"Okay, I got it, let's go look at the real estate." Jiang Zehan nodded with a smile, and put his arms around Jiang Zechen's shoulders.

"……Hey!"

The so-called rich and powerful, buying a house of [-] square meters in an urban area where every inch of land is very expensive is no problem for the Jiang family. The only troublesome thing is how much area to buy.Because Jiang Zehan's definition of this house is that no one can enter or leave at will except the two, and even part-time workers are included, so the large area of ​​the house is just a burden, and from the idea that the two brothers always like to stick together Judging from the situation, too many rooms are even a burden.In the end, the two settled on a two-bedroom, one-living room of [-] square meters, which was satisfactory both in terms of practicality and convenience.

After paying the money, the rest of the procedures were very easy. When Jiang Zechen was led by Jiang Zehan and walked to the sales office, he was still a little dazed that the sudden whim turned into a reality a few hours later.

"What's next? Go back to Jiang's house, or find a decoration company?" Jiang Zehan asked as he flipped through a bunch of decoration company advertisements enthusiastically recommended by the sales lady.

"Uh..." Jiang Zechen looked melancholy at Jiang Zehan who persistently put forward "Option [-]", always felt that all his efforts were just to turn the death penalty into a reprieve...

"Huh? Chenchen!" With a familiar voice, Jiang Zechen twitched his mouth and turned to look at the young man who was walking towards him quickly. Although he was wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses that almost covered half of his face, Jiang Zechen still He recognized who it was at a glance.

"I can see you no matter where I go." Jiang Zechen rubbed his forehead.

"This is called a meeting from a thousand miles away! Uh... Brother Jiang, hello." Shaking subconsciously, Li Zhou immediately put away his foolish appearance just now, and greeted politely.

Holding Jiang Zechen's hand tightly, showing the other party's displeasure, but Jiang Zehan still smiled decently, "You also come to buy a house?"

——If Li Zhou says "yes", Jiang Zehan plans to go to another place to buy a new one immediately. Although this real estate is very big, living with Li Zhou will make Jiang Zehan unhappy in every way.

"No, no, the script for our final homework is related to the sale of the property, so we plan to investigate the situation in advance and study it." Li Zhou waved his hand, "This real estate is the hottest, so I chose this place with my classmates."

Jiang Zehan was very satisfied with Li Zhou's answer, "Then I won't disturb your business, Xiaochen and I will go first."

"Oh, yes." Li Zhou nodded again and again. He always felt that the elder brother of the Jiang family looked at him very uncomfortable. Although he was a little disappointed that he didn't say a few words to Jiang Zechen, it didn't hinder him at all The determination to send away this great plague god as soon as possible.

Jiang Zechen was still struggling with the issue between the death penalty and the reprieve, waved his hand at Li Zhou casually, and then planned to leave with Jiang Zehan, but he didn't expect that just after taking a few steps, the other party suddenly slapped his head and stopped as if remembering something he.

"By the way! I forgot to tell you, Director Liu plans to go to our school to choose roles for the new script, do you know about this?"

"...It seems that I have heard such rumors. Song Yue said it, but I'm not sure." Jiang Zechen froze for a moment, nodded, and then his eyes lit up, "Have you received accurate news?"

"Well, yes, I do have an insider!" Li Zhou patted his chest proudly and blinked ambiguously, "Although I plan to choose several people this time, there is only one main role... "

"You must be planning to win that role, and so am I." Jiang Zechen understood, "As for who can get it, it depends on one's own ability."

Li Zhou nodded, full of anticipation, "It's the first time I'm competing with you for a role, isn't it interesting?"

"It's quite interesting." Jiang Zechen smiled, raised his hand, his eyes were full of determination, "Although we are brothers, I will not be soft-hearted!"

"To each other!" Li Zhou laughed lightly, raised his hand, and gave Jiang Zechen a light high-five—they are both friends and rivals, and they can fight bloody storms for a role, but they can still be good after the end Be like a person.

Jiang Zehan silently watched beside the two of them, watching Jiang Zechen's eyes gleaming, watching him fighting vigorously and gearing up, watching him...put all his attention on the person in front of him.

Jiang Zehan knows that his younger brother loves acting, and when it comes to things related to his work, he will devote himself wholeheartedly and forget about all other things.Jiang Zehan understands him, because he is also a workaholic. He can stay up for several days and work all night for a proposal, and he will never give up until he comes up with a satisfactory result—maybe the Jiang family has such a temper, even Jiang's father. In this way, for the sake of work, the family can be completely ignored, which makes Mrs. Jiang have to worry so much that she also left her son, just to stay by his side all the time.

It's a pity that even if he understands, even if he empathizes, Jiang Zehan still can't calmly accept that his brother and lover forget him for something, even if it's work or career.

——What's more, in that job and career, there is Li Zhou who Jiang Zehan regards as a thorn in his side, and every time he sees him, he has to raise 12 points of vigilance...

"Asshole! Are your eyes blind? I can't see that the person I like the most is actually you! Li——" the voice stopped abruptly, Jiang Zehan was a little dazed for a while, and it took a long time to react, and his eyes were straight in disbelief It pokes at Li Zhou, who is holding the phone with an embarrassed expression on his face, and then turns to Jiang Zechen, who is covering his face in pain.

"This, this is a misunderstanding..." Jiang Zechen swallowed, glanced at Jiang Zehan, who was expressionless and darkened, and tried to explain, "This is just a line..."

"Why didn't I remember that you said such a line?" Jiang Zehan bent his mouth, but he didn't smile at all—even though the recording was a bit distorted, and it was always in Li Zhou's trouser pocket, it was a bit blurry, but he was still there. In an instant, it was judged that it was undoubtedly Jiang Zechen's voice.

"Episode 23 of "The Sea of ​​Wishing Stars", the scene where the character I played confessed to the heroine for the first time..." Jiang Zechen gave Li Zhou a hard look, "At that time, the heroine couldn't feel it, Li Zhou and I I just demonstrated it once for her, and Li Zhou said something to be substituting, and asked me to change the name to his... and record it!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Li Zhou quickly cupped his fists to apologize, "It was just a joke..."

"So, what do you mean by using the recording as a ringtone for incoming calls?" Jiang Zehan finally suppressed his dissatisfaction and irritability with the calmness of Jiang Zechen and Li Zhou, and asked calmly.

"I didn't do this... My cousin came to play at my house last night, and she took my phone to look at the things inside. She probably did it..." Li Zhou looked extremely annoyed, "I'll change it back right now!"

"Delete." Jiang Zehan spoke succinctly, with a calm but forceful tone without any ups and downs that made one's scalp tingle.

"...This..." Li Zhou looked at his phone with a look of reluctance.

"Delete." Jiang Zehan frowned slightly, and urged, his voice became deeper and more decisive.

Li Zhou finally compromised, and deleted the audio with a mournful face, and then showed it to Jiang Zehan.

Jiang Zehan finally looked slightly relaxed.

"You are not young anymore, and you are still a public figure. You must not make such excessive jokes in the future, you know? You should also be careful when you are together. I don't care what happens to you with others, but don't drag Xiaochen into the water." " Although Jiang Zehan, whose elder brother's aura is completely overwhelmed, did not speak harshly, Li Zhou, who was still overwhelmed by guilt, had no power to resist. He could only nod obediently, and vowed that he would never make such "excessive" jokes again, and would definitely " Pay attention to size."

Also frightened and silent, Jiang Zechen gritted his teeth at Li Zhou, told him with his eyes that this matter would never end, and that he would settle accounts with him later, but Jiang Zehan grabbed the back of his head and had to cut off the "eyes" with Li Zhou , trotted behind Jiang Zehan who was pulling him away in strides.

"Um... where are we going now?" Jiang Zechen flinched slightly.

"Go home." Jiang Zehan replied, paused, "Go back to Jiang's house."

"...Aren't you going to the decoration company?" Jiang Zechen looked at the approaching car, feeling a little desperate.

"I'll talk about that later." With a firm tone, Jiang Zehan pressed the car lock in the air, then opened the door of the passenger seat, and put pressure on the shivering Jiang Zechen with his eyes.

Jiang Zechen finally couldn't bear the pressure, and sat down with his head bowed in the belief of dying early and being born early.

October [-]th, Saturday, Jiang Zechen felt that he would probably remember this day—the day when he was first passed through the back door, and was framed by others...

——Li Zhou, if you don't avenge this, I will never live with you!
